PLANET SUSIE'S STARSHIP - DT CARD FOR "ONE STITCH AT A TIME"

Hi there fellow bloggers - welcome to my little planet!! Thank you so much for stopping by and checking me out - so to speak!!! I have a couple of cards ready to show this week because they are DT cards. This card is my first as a DT member for One Stitch at a Time and, if you think about it, it certainly typifies me as Planet Susie!!! Please check out the Challenge site and also the cards made by my teamies - they are bloomin' creative.This challenge (No 172) has a theme "Use a Digi" and if you use an image from StitchyBear Digi Outlet via the blog (http://onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/challenge-172.html) - the prize is $20 worth of digi images. You can still win $3 worth of images if you use a digi from another company. Don't forget these are weekly challenges.The starship is the main image and there were some lovely background papers to choose from but I loved the look of planet earth!

You know how much I love my floral bits and I sooo wanted to have some space flowers on here so I used some stars and some snowflake dies plus some great foliage dies to make up these wacky flowers. I do have a friend who loves anything Startrek so this would suit her down to the ground!!! I would add a birthday sentiment to this one if I decide to send it to her though - lol!

I cut out the starship and then mounted it onto my background using a little spring that I made from some jewellery wire. It really does bounce around on the front of my card! Yay.

I used purples, blues, greys and silver on this card - mainly because I wanted to have some nice little relatives posing on the front - bless - and they needed to blend into my background - ooops now I'm chuckling at myself 'cos I've gorn orf on one.

About Me

I have been crafting since I was very small and started making my dolls clothes when I was 8. I have been married to my hubby for almost 49 years and even made my wedding dress and bridesmaid dresses. I still have the pattern - and the dress. We have had cats all our married life but we lost Ebony in January 2012 and Misty in February 2012. A huge feral cat used to own us but sadly, he died in August 2012. He was such a character for a feral cat and, even though we couldn't touch him, we knew he sort of liked us! We decided we wouldn't take on any more pets but in March 2013 a female cat and her 'husband' started living in the garden and despite being ignored they wouldn't leave so ... in short.... they both adopted us and they have now been neutered and chipped and once again we have fur babies! In 2015 an abandoned long haired puss adopted us and he's gorgeous! I will never know how they knew we would take them in - perhaps it's the large tattoo on our foreheads saying 'MUG'!! We wouldn't swap them for the world though.
